Rockhounding Day 1

10Oct

A* planned a rockhounding weekend for us a month ago after we were daydreaming about boler adventuring and spending months in Yellowstone observing wildlife, geological formations, fossils and such. The problems is that we don’t own a boler nor have months or money for travel so we opted for a B&B tour in the Nova Scotia fossil region..at least we did Parrsboro, Cape d’Or and Joggins. Waaay too many shots for one post but here is a synopsis of day 1..lighthouses, hiking up hills, amazing sheer cliffs eroded by tides, fossilized tree roots, fossilized sand flats, getting lost on crazy dirt backroads, best french onion soup I ever had at an excellent restaurant in Advocate Harbour called Wild Carroway, getting lost on paved roads, hiking up more hills and a tasty Pulled Pork Quesadilla* at Bare Bones Bistro in Parrsboro…

Some really amazing places..300 million old fossils being revealed daily thanks to the worlds highest tides.

..it is also not too often you see footlong chunks of coal sitting on the beach either..but enough rockhounding for day 1..back to the B&B for some b-charging of the batteries for day 2. B-charging..B&B…recharging, you know?……groan.

..ok. so after I put this up as a post I was messing with the app for grids and created some and am going to put up day 1 as grids per event that day..way faster than trying to get the photos in order on this phone..stupid wordpress interface. Plus I don’t have to limit the post pics as much but I worr about quality…
